Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

Optimus: The Decepticons are a species of life just like us Autobots. They deserve a choice.Bumblebee: You are rite Optimus, your compassion and courage is what makes you a great leader, bearer of the matrix.Grimlock: I will Crush the Decepticons, I will Destroy, Dinobots transform, I'm ready for anything, Attaaaaack, No survivorsssssss.

Sweeeeet. I just got the Robot Masters version for my birthday. He's always been a cool looking character, and even though I still haven't watched Victory, he's one of my favorite designs. If they make a Victory Leo to combine with him I may never need to track down the G1 versions, even if they are my two remaining grails.

Of course, I somehow fear that it will just be a reissue in a nice MP-style box, but hopefully not, and we get a fully-articulated, full-featured MP Star Saber.

I could say the same about the live-action toys too, especially the Dark of the Moon stuff.

The Beast Era Convoys were fine just as they are. The only real difference would be some minor sculpting differences, some more intricacy in the transformation, and maybe a couple accessories here and there.

I don't think they go for alt mode scale in MPs, just bot mode scale. Otherwise, Starscream and his buddies would have to be WAY bigger (or the cars would have to be WAY smaller).

Star Saber is pretty cool. I used to have the figure (not sure if it was original or KO) but it was fun, and definitely not what I was expecting. He should make for a cool looking MP, esp in alt mode. I still think Super Fire Convoy was the coolest looking in both modes, and the way he suited up was pretty rad.

THE POWERS OF DARKNESS ARE A MORE POWERFUL WEAPON THAN ALL THE TOYS YOUR SCIENCE CAN MUSTERDie, Autobots!

I certainly hoped for it. I never expect the Internet to make sense, that way when it does, I'm pleasantly surprised. I can't believe people are complaining that Fort Max got last place. He'd be out of scale, he'd have to be, and so people would complain about that if we did get him, and even then, they'd feel the need to make him at least as large as the original. This is a Japanese vote for Japanese customers. You guys are aware of the size of most Japanese apartments, yes? Unless MP Fort Max had a bed alt mode, I couldn't see a lot of folks in the target market bothering to try and fit him into their homes.

assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide. Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

If you're angry about this toy getting made ( , why?), may I point to the title of this thread. Three key words: Takara Fan Poll. They polled Japanese fans. Not you. Not me. Get over it.

I'd have voted Star Saber given the chance. Because James Roberts.

I certainly would not have minded an Armada Prime. I'd imagine the transformation with the trailer would be similar to the upcoming Ultra Magnus release. Having said, that Star Saber will be a mighty fine figure if the recent quality of MP figures is anything to go by. Maybe a contest for best villain leader is next? I wonder who'd win.

I'd definitely be interested in seeing a Masterpiece Super Fire Convoy. Outside of upgrading the hands the figure is freaking near perfection as it is.

I just completed after 30 years, G1 Season1 and 2 Decepticons!My Transformers purchasing habits1. Not hung up or hate scale. MP, Legend, Voyager I'll take 'em all. 2. Price is indeed a big factor but if its a need to own one even if I have to eat "Scooby Snacks " for a month then so be it.3. I tilt towards Tomy products over Hasbro because it's got lots'a bling (Legends Jetfire being the exception)

No one is forcing anybody to buy him. And, it was a Japan based poll so "gaijin" opinions wouldn't matter anyway.
